Hi Henk, mine has option a110. The linear supply is definitely strapped for 110v.
I disconnected the primary and connected a 24v system supply in its place. Everything burst into life (at 110v, through step-down transformer) Haven't been game to try 230v yet... I guess I'll look at fix or replace 24v standby linear PSU. The second linear has me scratching my head, 2V@6A and is activated by solid state relay. Goes off to the card frame somewhere, haven't tried tracing yet. Definitely not looking forward to removing that monster bottom board. -----Original Message----- From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On Behalf Of Henk ten Pierick Sent: Monday, 9 September 2013 9:05 PM To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Wavecrest DTS 2070 Hi, The 207x is.
